Chapter 220 Please Help Me Find Him.

Lucian looked at her in disbelief. "What did you say? Mr. Elicott might donate his heart to Darlene?"

Dakota looked even more astonished. "How is that possible? Mr. Elicott is a healthy person."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she quickly realized that something was wrong, and thepeople present also realized that something was wrong.

There was only one reason why Nathen would bring her to such a far place when Darlene was soweak. It was to honor his previous promise and bring her here to complete the heart transplant.

However, if the donor was just a stranger who was about to die, then he should at least let Darlenebring another close person with her.

Even if Darlene did not have a family around at that time, at least she could bring Aleena with her.

The heart transplant was such a big deal. Why did he leave alone with Darlene before dawn and cut offall the people?

It did not seem like a simple heart transplant.

The policeman's face became serious. "It seems that this is far more serious than we imagined. Wehave to replace them as soon as possible. There is no time left. But will Mr. Elicott really do such anirrational thing?"

Although it was said that he wanted to save Darlene's life, everyone knew that it meant death.

Leana was so anxious that tears came down, and she directly knelt down in front of the police. "Mybrother has been mentally ill for many years. Over the years, his stubbornness has been morbid when

he dealt with people and things.

"But he has always rejected and resisted all psychological treatment. I have tried many times, but he isunwilling to accept treatment.

"Please. Please help me replace him. Don't let him do anything stupid. I only have one brother, and mygrandfather only has one grandson."

She recalled that Martin did not choose to come back with her when she hurried back to the country.He must have been really anxious and did not have the strength to return to the country.

Thinking of this, Leana's heart ached. Her grandfather was more than eighty years old and only hadtwo grandchildren. If something bad happened to Nathen, how could her grandfather bear it?

Avery did not say a word. At this point, as the person who had already known the truth, he was tooashamed to speak.

The police immediately helped Leana up. "Ms. Elicott, don't be like this. Calm down. We will definitelydo our best to replace your brother and Ms. Garcia as soon as possible."

Leana was so anxious that her head was covered in a cold sweat. She said helplessly, "I shouldn'thave gone abroad. It's all my fault. I should have noticed that something was wrong with him a longtime ago. I should have kept a close eye on him. Not long ago, he called me and said that he wanted toprepare a birthday gift for me..."

Her voice suddenly stopped. She remembered something, and a chill spread all over her body.

She said urgently, "Sir, I remember something. I realized that I didn't bring my ID card with me when Iwent abroad.

"Maybe my brother took it away. With my ID card and a person who looks like me, he can havesomeone disguise herself as me and sign the agreement as a family member.'

Without the family member's signature, one could not donate his or her organs. But now, as a familymember, she didn't have her ID card with her.

Dakota walked over and put her arm around her shoulder to comfort her. "Ms. Elicott, calm down first. Itis more important to replace them now."

Leana trembled violently. "Yes, yes. It's more important to replace them. Let's go replace them first."

Several people left in a hurry. Behind the pillar next to them, a woman who was covered tightly walkedout and looked at their backs.

She took off her mask slightly and let out a breath. Her face was revealed. It was Vivian's face.

She followed Dakota and the others all the way here.

In an inconspicuous sanatorium in the suburbs.

Darlene sat on the balcony outside the ward and looked down at the large but empty lawn.

Since she came here in the morning, she felt a little strange. There seemed to be no one here.

She could not help but look at Nathen beside her and asked again, "Does the donor really live here?"

"Yes, this is a private sanatorium. It is a little cold and quiet, and it is far from the city. There is almostno one here.

"However, the environment is quiet, and it is a suitable place for people to recuperate. Moreover, it isthe end of the year, and the patients were almost discharged from the hospital and went home."

Darlene thought about the time. The new year was approaching indeed.

When she first learned that her heart was failing, it was still the rainy season in July or August.

And now, if Nathen had not found a suitable heart for her, she would face death.

She thought of something. "Today is Christmas, right? Dr. Elicott, if I can make it through this time, I willdefinitely send you a New Year gift to show my gratitude."

Nathen smiled and sat beside her without saying a word.

Darlene looked serious. "I mean, you have helped me a lot these years. I didn't show my gratitude, butI remember everything. Although I can't give you something really nice, I will do my best to give you thebest gift."

Moreover, she had left 850 thousand dollars to Aleena. When she passed away, her grandmother andbrother could use the money.

If she could successfully get a heart, she would not die. At that time, she could think of a way to earnmoney, and she would not need to save a large sum of money.

Even if she only used half of the money, she could definitely buy a good gift.

Nathen nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll keep it in mind. I'll be waiting for your gift. Don't forget to give itto me."

Darlene agreed, but her hands were sweating.

She was a little nervous about the heart transplant.

However, she had no family, and she only had several friends, like Aleena and Gustave.

Aleena returned to her hometown a few days ago and went to visit Braydon's parents.

Gustave still did not know what was going on, and it was even more impossible for him to keep Darlenecompany at the moment.

Nathen patted the back of her hand that curled up with his broad palm. "What? Are you afraid?"

Darlene shook her head. "I'm not afraid. But the moment I am waiting to have my heart changed withexpectations will be the moment the donor passes away."

A strange look flashed across Nathen's eyes, but his expression remained the same. "That person is acancer patient. Whether you accept his heart or not, his life is about to end.

"In this sense, he might have to thank you for being able to live with his heart in you."

Darlene felt a little sad. "After the transplant is over, I want to see that person and thank his family."

Nathen turned his gaze away and looked forward. "You know that this is against the rules. It is notallowedan donation must be anonymous, and it is also to prevent illegal transactions. You canshow the greatest gratitude to that person by living a good life."

Darlene did not know what else to say, and both of them were silent.

After a moment, Nathen suddenly spoke again, "Why don't you give me your painting as a new year'sgift?

"I remember that you have been painting for many years. That is something you like to do. After theheart transplant is done, without the Gallard family and Avery's restrictions, you can keep doing it.

'Darlene, don't live for others anymore. Look at you now. It's unworthy."

Darlene's eyes were a little red. It was truly not worth it.

She had loved a man with all her heart for so many years, but in the end, she had put herself into sucha sorry state.

Darlene nodded. "Okay, I will draw a portrait for you and give it to you. I hope that I can have thechance. Dr. Elicott, you must live a good life too."

She felt a little dizzy. In the beginning, she just felt a little sleepy, but now Darlene began to be sosleepy that she could not open her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Nathen say "OK". And then Darlene fainted.

She vaguely heard Nathen coming closer and talking to her. "Darlene, have a good sleep and have agood dream. When you wake up, everything will be fine."
